Today was our last day in London. This was the day that was given to us to have free time in London. Well our plans were changed by the unexpected celebration of the Queen's 60th year of being queen in Westminster. See what happened was that yesterday we were actually supposed to see Westminster abbey but the queen was there being recorinadted so we ended up getting some free time then and we had to go today. While at westminster I saw some graves of famous musicians including Handel, Vaughan Williams, Britten, and even Purcell. This is very odd these days because "musicians row" has been closed to the public for quite some time but they got us in.
This morning I spent my free time with a group of others at the National Portrait Gallery just off Trafalgar Square. I saw paintings by Van Gogh, da vinci, and some other famous artists. After the gallery we ate at Pret a Manger once again lol. From there is when we all met up at Westminster Abbey. After the Abbey visit we split up into our own free time for the rest of the day. I chose to travel to Westminster Chapel to see famous mosaics and tower. The byzantine building style is something very different from what I am used to in a large church. but it was awesome and since then i have been in my room repacking my stuff for the trip to Salzburg. Ill talk to you then :)
